spyware.ispynow problems

Probably put this in the wrong place to start with as I responded to anothers topic. Decided to open new one.

Copied this from the other topic:

Same issue with me

Hello.

• Open HijackThis
  
• Choose "Do a system scan only"
  
• Check the boxes in front of these lines:
  
  
  O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [SVCHOST.EXE] C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\svchost.exe
  O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [winhpdrv] "C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Application Data\Google\xtgoj6119471.exe"
  O4 - HKUS\S-1-5-21-1770586518-745790830-2567679633-1008\..\Run: [SVCHOST.EXE] C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\svchost.exe (User '?')
  O4 - HKUS\S-1-5-21-1770586518-745790830-2567679633-1008\..\Run: [winhpdrv] "C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Application Data\Google\xtgoj6119471.exe" (User '?')
  
  
  
• Press "Fix Checked"
  
• Close Hijack This.
  

Delete these two files in bold:
C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Application Data\Google\xtgoj6119471.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\svchost.exe

• Download combofix from here, use the top links - combofix.exe
  
• Double click on ComboFix.exe.
  
• Follow the prompts. NOTE:
  
• ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed.
  ***It's strongly recommended to have the Recovery Console installed before doing any malware removal.***
  
  **Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will automatically proceed with its scan.
  
  
  
• The Recovery Console provides a recovery/repair mode should a problem occur during a Combofix run.
  
  
  
  
• Allow ComboFix to download the Recovery Console.
  
• Accept the End-User License Agreement.
  
• The Recovery Console will be installed.
  
• You will this next prompt that asks if you want to continue the malware scan, select yes
  
  
  
  
• Allow combofix to run
  
• Post C:\combofix.txt back here.
  
  Note:
  Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall.
  

It would not let me delete the svchost.exe.

Hard to get a connection to the download of Combofix as all the sites were blocked. Finally got an older version. It detected a Rootkit and indicated it needed to shut down the computer. It is now shutting down and I'm waiting to go from here.

Okay, lets try this.

1. Please download The Avenger by Swandog46 to your Desktop
Link: HERE.

• Click on Avenger.zip to open the file
  
• Extract avenger.exe to your desktop
  

2. Copy all the text contained in the code box below to your Clipboard by highlighting it and pressing (Ctrl+C):

Files to delete:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\svchost.exe

Note: the above code was created specifically for this user. If you are not this user, do NOT follow these directions as they could damage the workings of your system.

3. Now, start The Avenger program by clicking on its icon on your desktop.

• Under "Input script here:", paste in the script from the quote box above.
  
• Leave the ticked box "Scan for rootkit" ticked.
  
• Don't tick the box below.
  
• Now click on the Execute to begin execution of the script.
  
• Answer "Yes" twice when prompted.
  
  The Avenger will automatically do the following:
  
  
• It will Restart your computer.
  
• On reboot, it will briefly open a black command window on your desktop, this is normal.
  
• After the restart, it creates a log file that should open with the results of Avenger’s actions. This log file will be located at C:\avenger.txt
  
• The Avenger will also have backed up all the files, etc., that you asked it to delete, and will have zipped them and moved the zip archives to C:\avenger\backup.zip.
  

5. Please copy/paste the content of c:\avenger.txt into your reply.

I am currently running the combofix and it has completed Stage_50.

It said there was a later version, tried to update it, but the update site was blocked.

By running the combofix without deleting the svchost, will that cause a problem?

It has now generated the log...

Now I can at least access the websites that were previously blocked. Should I download and run the later version of the Combofix?

Hello.
Please download the latest version of combofix to your Desktop (Important!!), but do not run it yet.

Now open a new notepad file.
Input this into the notepad file:

Registry::
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\mountpoints2\D]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\mountpoints2\{14000763-2337-11db-aa2f-806d6172696f}]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\ControlSet002\Services\TDSSserv.sys]

Save this as CFScript.txt, save it to your desktop also.
Then drag and drop CFScript.txt into combofix as seen below:


This will open combofix.exe again, agree to it's terms and allow it to run, it may want to reboot after it's done. Post the resulting log back here.

What does this do?

It's a special way of running combofix, it will read the txt file and remove the leftovers shown in the CF log from the first run.

Should I have my ANti Virus or Anti spy ware turned off as I do all of this?

No, AVG shouldn't interfere.

So this last step will get rid of the [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\mountpoints2\D]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\mountpoints2\{14000763-2337-11db-aa2f-806d6172696f}]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\ControlSet002\Services\TDSSserv.sys] ?

This is all so "geek" to me, and I just want to understand a little bit about what is happening with this.

Thanks for everything, BTW...I'm just trying to learn a little bit and understand what you're helping me do here. It's appreciated.

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\mountpoints2\D]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\mountpoints2\{14000763-2337-11db-aa2f-806d6172696f}]

They are both USB mountpoints, usually caused by flash drive infections, they make autorun.inf files in the root of every drive, CF deleted one of them from D:
D:\Autorun.inf


[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\ControlSet002\Services\TDSSserv.sys]

This is a leftover service of the tdssserv rootkit.

My D drive is my HP recovery partition....is that an issue?

No, the malware placed an autorun.inf file there so the malware was launched every time you opened D. CF has removed this now, nothing to worry about.

Thanks.
The leftovers are gone.
How is everything?

BTW,

How do you get to know all of this? It's amazing to me...

I'm a trained malware fighter.

Everything appears to be fine, although it appeared that way prior to re-running the updated CF.

Again, thanks so much!

How do people know how to do these viruses/trojans and why would they do something like they appear to be doing with a lot of other people's computers? It just seems like a very mean and evil thing. I can maybe understand a pop-up message or two, but actually reconfiguring computers seems, well, malicious! I guess that's why they call it malware!?!?!

Thanks, and Peace be with you, my friend!

Correct.
I don't know why they do it, but they do.

We need to make a new restore point.

To turn off System Restore, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2. Click the System Restore tab.
3. Click the Turn off System Restore check box (or the Turn off System Restore on all drives check box), and then click OK.
4. Click Yes when you receive the prompt to the turn off System Restore.

Now we need to make a new restore point.
To turn on System Restore, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2. Click the System Restore tab.
3. Click the Turn off System Restore check box (To turn on System Restore), and then click OK.

Below I have included a number of recommendations for how to protect your computer in order to prevent future malware infections. Please take these recommendations seriously; these few simple steps can stave off the vast majority of spyware problems. As happy as we are to help you, for your sake we would rather not have repeat customers.

1) Please navigate to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and download all the "critical updates" for Windows. This can patch many of the security holes through which attackers can gain access to your computer.

Please either enable Automatic Updates under Start -> Control Panel -> Automatic Updates , or get into the habit of checking for Windows updates regularly. I cannot stress enough how important this is.

2) In order to protect yourself against spyware, you should consider installing and running the following free programs:

Ad-Aware SE
A tutorial on using Ad-Aware to remove spyware from your computer may be found here.

Spybot-Search & Destroy
A tutorial on using Spybot to remove spyware from your computer may be found here. Please also remember to enable Spybot's "Immunize" and "TeaTimer" features.

SpywareBlaster
A tutorial on using SpywareBlaster to prevent spyware from ever installing on your computer may be found here.

SpywareGuard
A tutorial on using SpywareGuard for realtime protection against spyware and hijackers may be found here.

Make sure to keep these programs up-to-date and to run them regularly, as this can prevent a great deal of spyware hassle.

3) Please consider using an alternate browser. Mozilla's Firefox browser is fantastic; it is much more secure than Internet Explorer, immune to almost all known browser hijackers, and also has the best built-in popup blocker (as an added benefit!) that I have ever seen. If you are interested, Firefox may be downloaded from here:
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

4) Also make sure to run your antivirus software regularly, and to keep it up-to-date.

5) Finally, consider maintaining a firewall. Some good free firewalls are Kerio, or
Outpost
A tutorial on understanding and using firewalls may be found here.

Please also read Tony Klein's excellent article: How I got Infected in the First Place

Hopefully this should take care of your problems! Good luck.

IS AVG just an antivirus or is it a spyware also? Is it a good one?

Should I use all of those recommended spyware programs or just one?

I only use Firefox...

What do you know about COMODO?

Doesn't Windows provide a Firewall? Is that no good?

What about the Norton programs? Lots of popularity, but not sure if they're any good.

AVG is an anti-virus only.
Just use one or two of the programs recommended.
Comodo Firewall - I kow lots who use it and I recommend you use it too.

Windows comes with a firewall, but it's not as strong as something like Comodo

Norton - Yes, hugely popular, but can really slow down the system.

Your version of Java is outdated and needs to be updated to take advantage of fixes that have eliminated security vulnerabilities.
Updating Java:

• Download the latest version of Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 11.
  
• Select the first option where it says "Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 11".
  
• Click the "Download" button to the right.
  
• In the Window that opens, select your platform and language, check the "agree" box, and click Continue.
  
• Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation and save to your desktop.
  
• Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
  
• Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on Add or Remove Programs and remove all older versions of Java.
  
• Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
  - Examples of older versions in Add or Remove Programs:
  - Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2
  - J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0
  - J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 2
  
• Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
  
• Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java versions.
  
• Then from your desktop double-click on jre-6u11-windows-i586-p.exe that you downloaded to install the newest version.
  

Please make sure the new version of Java is installed before you run JavaRa.

Please download JavaRa from here

• First, unzip it.
  
• Then run JavaRa.
  
• Select English from the drop down menu and press Select.
  
• This will open JavaRa.
  
• Press Remove older versions
  
• Press yes to the prompt.
  
• It will make a log file of what it's removed, but I don't need to see it.
  

Your clean now, you go can and be free.

If I use COMODO or one of the other Firewalls, should I disable the WIndows Firewall?

Hello.
Yes, but Comodo should do that for you.

Thank you so much! You've been a tremendous help!

Glad I could help.

Do you know anything about cyberdefenderfree?
